CLEANTECH INDUSTRIES: Industries dedicated to the research, development and operation of technologies that optimize the use of natural resources and offer cleaner or less wasteful alternatives to traditional products and services, such as alternative energy generation and storage (including but not limited to biomass, ethanol, solar, water, and wind power generation); environmental engineering and consulting (including, but not limited to the development of water and wastewater treatment and conservation technology, air purification, environmental testing and analysis, environmental remediation services and the development of biodegradable materials and fabrics); "smart technology" infrastructure; technologies that increase resource use efficiency (including the development of hybrid vehicle technology, lighter materials for vehicles, and smart logistics software); nano-technology; the development of "smart construction;" and biodegradable materials and fabrics.

HIGH TECH INDUSTRY: Industries in technology oriented sectors, such as biotechnology, cleantech, computer equipment, defense, aerospace, electronics, photonics, medical equipment, medical supplies, software, multimedia, data, semiconductors and related devices, telecommunications, and professional research and testing services.

JOBS-TO-HOUSING BALANCE: Ratio that defines the jobs-to-housing relationship, which is represented by a ratio between the number of jobs and number of residential units located within a defined geographic boundary or unit.

ORANGE COUNTY

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

The County's development framework includes the Urban Service Area (USA), the Rural Service Area (RSA), and two major planning areas for future growth ? Horizon West and Innovation Way. Within the RSA, Rural Settlements and Growth Centers address unique growth issues. Boundaries for these areas are included on the County's interactive mapping site, InfoMap.

URBAN SERVICE AREA. The USA includes lands in Orange County where urban development patterns exist or are planned. For the most part, the USA is the area where the County provides utility services (water and wastewater), paved or improved roadway networks, and community facilities (e.g. schools and parks).

HORIZON WEST. Approved Villages in Horizon West include Lakeside, Bridgewater, Town Center, and Villages F, H, and I. Areas of Horizon West that are not included in an approved Village retain a base land use density of one dwelling unit per ten acres, the same as the rest of the RSA.

INNOVATION WAY. The Innovation Way Overlay boundary was adopted by the BCC in 2006 and became effective in 2008. Innovation Way has a policy framework that balances residential development with high- tech jobs, and an urban form that provides for multimodal access and environmental protection. The overlay does not change the underlying land use ? individual property owners must apply for changes to their Future Land Use designations.

RURAL SERVICE AREA. Areas outside of the County's USA are considered to be in the Rural Service Area (RSA). These areas, which generally are not planned for urban development, provide for a rural lifestyle or agricultural activity. Other than those exceptions outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, public water and wastewater service is generally not provided in the RSA. The existence of publicly owned facilities in the Rural Service Area is not intended to encourage utility connection for rural properties. Service exceptions outside of the USA include Growth Centers, Horizon West, and Rural Settlements where the BCC has formally determined a public need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens. (Another exception for public water and wastewater service outside of the USA is development approved prior to adoption of the 1991 Comprehensive Plan. One such example is the Cypress Lakes Planned Development, located on east State Road 50 in District 5.)

GROWTH CENTERS. Growth Centers are located in the RSA, but are required to connect to public facilities and services provided by an adjacent jurisdiction outside of Orange County. The Growth Centers currently approved in the County are the Northwest Growth Center, immediately south of Mount Dora; the Aviation Growth center, north of Lake Apopka on the Orange/Lake boundary; and the U.S. 192 Growth Center, located in SW Orange on the Orange/Osceola boundary. Once an area is approved as a Growth Center on Orange County's FLUM, urban densities and intensities (and FLUM designations) may be considered, based on Joint Planning Area (JPA) agreements between Orange County and the adjacent jurisdiction.

RURAL SETTLEMENTS. Rural Settlements are intended to recognize and preserve communities that existed as of adoption of the 1991 Comprehensive Plan. The County's Rural Settlements are listed on the following page. To maintain adequate potable water and wastewater quality for Rural Settlements, new construction or extension of central water systems serving Rural Settlements may be approved by the BCC on a case-by- case basis consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. For these services to be considered, the BCC must make a finding of need for the services as well as a finding of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. At this time, the BCC has made such a finding in only one instance ? that the extension of potable water facilities was required to remediate health and safety concerns in the Bithlo Rural Settlement.
